With a delivery that showcases skillful and emotive ferocity far beyond their years, ‘The Awful Truth’ will empower you and will stand as MERIDIAN’s introduction to a long-lived, constant rotation on your playlist. Without question, MERIDIAN’s powerful music and ardent performances will thrust them to the forefront of the alternative, rock, and hardcore music scenes.

The single, “Everything That Kept Me Moving” has already made believers out of Sirius/XM Faction, catapulting the track to the top of their charts last week. The music video debuts in the next two days. Check it out here:
